Handyman side hustle advice? (alien.top)

Hello fellow hustlers. I want to make some extra cash because my full time job isn't cutting it because they don't allow overtime. It's stupid it's a rule and I can't change it. I have the weekends off though and can even work something online at work if I find something i'm good at. I'm a handyman though so I can do basic plumbing, electrical, construction, assembly, and trash removal. Although finding clients for this seems to be the most difficult part. Doing the work is the easy part finding clients is next level sh$#! I'm pretty tech savvy aswell though. Any ideas folks i'd much appreciate it. Love to fill up my days off with some productive work.

"Job isn't cutting it because they don't allow overtime. It's stupid it's a rule and I can't change."

That's not stupid. Companies also have budgets. If they go over their budget then you & others may lose the full time job due to budget cuts.

Anyways you can your services as a handyman on craiglist.

Also if you are good at fixing a lot of things inside of a home and outside then apply for jobs at a local apartment complex.. A lot of handymen who are renters where I live go work for apartment complexes to get a discount on their rent or the rent is compensated in their pay.

Hope this helps.

Best to you

I find it to be stupid because they were apparently in the budget for a not needed $500,000 building makeover which needed to get approval from the board. Nothing was broken the manager just wanted fancy new tvs. While i'm here asking for OT constantly and they push me 40 hours no more no less.
